Cut on the beat.

A rhythm game where you cut on the beat across 16 beats at three tempos, scored from Intern up to Director's Cut. It uses a generated click track, so there is no music licensing involved and it loads instantly.

It matters for montage, music-led sequences and short-form, where a cut landing slightly off the beat reads as sloppy even to viewers who could not say why. It matters far less in dialogue or tutorial editing, where meaning sets the cut point rather than tempo.

It trains one narrow reflex, which is timing accuracy. That is genuinely useful and genuinely small — it will not teach pacing, story or sound design. Treat it as a warm-up rather than a course.

Yes, free with no sign-up, and it works on touch devices. It uses the Web Audio API for the click track, so your device needs sound enabled for the timing to be meaningful.
